I put in the MLB Front Office Manager and it said there was an update available and then when it uploaded the update, it just stopped working all together. It comes up with the log-in screen and does not display our log-in names and won't go past that point.

Check that the input mode of the TV is appropriate for the connector in use on the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

There may be a problem with the cable in use. Try using another cable that is compatible with the PLAYSTATION®3.

If
the video output settings on the PLAYSTATION®3 do not match those of
the cable or TV in use, there may be no picture. If the screen goes
blank, turn off the system.

Then, with only the PLAYSTATION®3 and the TV connected,
touch the system's power button for more than 5 seconds to turn the
system back on. The video output settings will automatically be reset
to the standard resolution.

If the DVD or Blu-ray Disc™ (BD) cannot be played, or the picture is distorted:Back to top

When outputting DVD content or PLAYSTATION®3 system format
software in SD resolution, only discs recorded in the NTSC standard can
be played.

If the PLAYSTATION®3 is connected to a VCR or a
combination TV/VCR unit, copy protection encoding on some DVDs and BDs
may cause image distortion, or may cause the image to become lighter or
darker. In such cases, connect the system to the TV directly.

If the DVD or BD does not match the region code set in the PLAYSTATION®3, it cannot be played.

Some
DVDs are preset with parental control restrictions. Enter the password
that was set in "Security Settings" to temporarily increase the viewer
age restriction level.

Some BDs are preset with parental control restrictions.
Enter the password that was set in "Security Settings" to change the
parental control level.

The BD may be disc-locked. Enter the password that was set when the disc was created.

ya i cant get my 40gb ps3 to work i was playin a game it went to a loading screen and it stayed there so i turned it off then turned it back on and now it wont play the game i can still get on the internet though

Have you performed any updates recently? If so, then if a friend of yours has a known working ps3, or if you want to buy one for a backup, see if you can swap hdds for a test. It won't ruin theirs, it's just a test to see if it might have been an update. If it works fine, and you have two sata connectors on your PC's motherboard, then you can format yours with MSDOS on the command prompt and copying your friends files over to yours. You will have to completely format your drive to remove any and all corrupted files. Here's one I found on Ebay

Hey, your screen settings may need to be reset. You can reset your playstation 3 screen settings by first turning of the playstation three, then turning it on by hitting the power button on the console and hold it for 5 seconds. You should hear it beep several times and then it should work.
